Ren & his dice bag

Ren's Dice Bag, In Progress

In progress

I finally finished up Ren’s dice bag! I needed a project to work on during gaming, a couple of weeks ago, so the darling hubby suggested I make a dice bag for him. I asked him to pick some yarn from my stash, and he picked the zebra. =)

So I happily knitted throughout playing an Amber session with our friends, and one of them, Leo, was a bit fascinated, and I offered to make him a dice bag too. Ironic, since we were playing a diceless game at the time. XD So he requested it in shades of blue, which I don’t have yet, other than my precious blue/brown, so I get to make another wee stash run! Woot!

I just did a k2 p2 ribbed stitch for a long swatch. I stitched up the sides today, and added the drawstrings. Really simple & fast.

Ren likes the ribbing, and loves his new dice bag! He poured ALL his dice into it (see pic) and it all fit — the ribbing expanded to accomodate them… so it’s perfect! I don’t even think it needs a lining!

I still want to find some great ribbon and replace the yarn drawstring with that. Also, think charms. ;) So it can be considered “finished” per se, but I still want to fiddle with it. ;)

And hopefully Leo’s will be fabulous, too!
